Cut the band off,
let the fan run hot
We had the timing but the song just stopped
Oh, we almost had it,
didn't we?
(almost had it, yeah)
Yellow paper wristband on the bathroom tiles Your radiator's humming through the
hallway miles
I left the fan on to drown out the quiet space Still
got the stamp from the venue on my face
And the roommate heard us laughing through the plaster wall Now she's
taking the long way home to miss it all
(the long way home)
Cut the band off,
let the fan run hot
We had the timing but the song just stopped Oh,
we almost had it,
didn't we?
(almost
had it, yeah)
She took the highway past the drive-thru lane
Watching the headlights make patterns in the rain Your half-filled coffee is
sitting on my desk
I didn't think we'd leave behind this kind of mess
And she knows we're talking through the plaster wall So she's driving
the long way home to miss it all
(the long way home)
Cut the band off,
let the fan run hot
We had the timing but the song just stopped
Oh, we almost had it,
didn't we?
(almost had it, yeah)
Let the fan run hot
(almost
had it)
Just cut the band off
